We left Edson and headed to Honeymoon lake in JNP.
Beautiful spot but no fish for us.

Just lots of these.

We headed to Abraham lake and camped on the shore. The lake was very low but going up 12" every 24 hours.The fishing was tough with two skinny bulls (?) and one skinny 45cm Laker caught.

This spot looked real fishy but produced nothing.
Unfortunately that was the end of the fishing as we headed to Drumheller, Calaway park and up to the Lougheed area to stay on a farm. We did get some nice Saskatoons though.

Here's Harry picking and eating Saskatoons from the kayak.
I've been invited back to the farm whenever I like and they get big goose numbers most years so it looks like I need to learn to hunt geese. They also have big gopher problems so I'll be going back next spring as well.
